OY Growth Curves Bioscreen C FP-1100-C Growth Curve Analysis System

This system measures the growth of micro-organisms. This system features a unique incubator incorporating a liquid circulation heat exchanger which provides constant temperatures to all wells, a linear shaker to assure good mixing in each well, a sensitive reader that measures turbidity, a technique more sensitive than a spectrophotometer. Additionally, the system is equipped with 8 filters to measure specific wavelengths, two covered honeycomb plates may be run at one time that makes it possible to run 200 samples simultaneously.
